there will be no appearance of openly
defying the police. The Nationalis
papers continue to publish reports O1
meetings of suppressed branches of the
league, but there are no signs of theil
prosecution.

executive, and in reply received tele-

THE UNIONISTS
are making preparations to give Lord
Harrington and Mr.. GOSchen a grand
reception in Dublin and 200 gentlemen
have already joined the committee hay-
ing the matter in charge, but fears are
expressed of dangerous demonstrations
on the part of the Catholics of the Irish
capital who regard Lord Harrington as
mainly responsible, by consent for the
coercion policy of the government, and
the enthusiasm of the admirers of the
two renegade Liberals is therefore con-
Siderably subdued.
LORD LYTTON'S APPOINTMENT
as ambassador to Paris is meeting with
almost universal, though in some quar-
terS suppressed condemnation. The
Spectator says it is a decidedly bad
move and declares that Lord Lytton
may any day take some impulsive step
that will embarrass the government be-
yOnd its powers to extricate itself.
Vanity Fair asserts that the appoint
ment is due to long pursued intrigue,
the prime movers of which are ''Ouida"
and M. BlowitZ, the Paris correspondent
of the London Times, and declares that
Disraeli's maddest appointment, that of
Lord Lytton to India, is capped by Lord
Salisbury's still madder step. Vanity
Fair has for its weekly cartoon in the
current issue caricature of Mr.. Glad
stone accompanied by a fierce denunci-
alton of all his works.
EGYPT
is again attracting general attention
and fears are expressed that the garrl-
son at Wady Halfa is not strong enough
to TepulSe an attack. The latest dispatch
received by the government from the
commander of the garrison says: "In
this position we are perfectly safe. We
are not sufficiently strong to attack the
rebels, but they are afraid to attack us;
they want to draw us into the open,
which they cannot do" The prepar
ations Italy is making at Messowah in
dicate the speedy beginning of serious
campaign, the object of which is sup
posed to be to occupy and fOrtify Karen,
and open trade with the Soudan. The
arrival of a supposed English mediation
commission at Messowah is interpreted
in some quarters as denoting the cOllu-
sion of England in the Italian project,
because, it is agreed. the preparations
of Italy have gone too far to permit
meditation.
DARWIN.
The Pail Mall Gazette publishes re-
view of the biography of Darwin and
says the book isireally an autobiography,
since it was written partly by Darwin
himself for the use of his children and
with the object of making public the
of his letters to his most inti-
mate friend, in which he reveals him
self in all simplicity and frankness.
'sThe noble single-mindedness of the
man, the Gazette adds, |'iS the prevail
ing impression throughout and the one
the book will make upon every reader.
